Maybe because I’m a painfully awful singer who likes to sing, this picture really speaks to me. I see a middle age “woman” singing the blues. Once falsely flattered for her singing by young stallions pursuing her favor. Now , no longer young and beautiful, she must settle for singing to the waterfall.

Her problem’s unfortunate source/ was her Mom’s choice to mate with a horse/ now, she sings in despair/ “Am I maid ? Or mere mare ?”/ and there isn’t an answer, of course.
She’s a short legged woman, it’s true/ and she may not appeal much to you/ but back at the stable/ she’s a real Betty Grable/ whom the stallions all love to pursue.
Cursed with a horrible voice and an even worse body, Penelope spent her days singing next to the falls, which mercifully drowned her out. Where is that toady prince when a girl needs him?
